Helping people avoid police

The fund is currently processing applications from organizations supporting the LGBT+ community.

Frontline AIDS will help HIV positive people get treatment during the lockdowns and curfews. Meanwhile it will also help protect LGBT+ people in danger.

For example, the fund is helping a trans-run organisation in the Caribbean to move to home delivery of HIV treatments. It’s paying for PPE and transport costs. This will reduce the chance of service users falling foul of the police during lockdown.

And it’s currently looking at similar applications from South Africa. Meanwhile an LGBT+ safehouse in Cameroon has also applied for emergency funding.
